Oil production in Russia at the end of 2025 amounted to 512 million. tons. This was reported in an article by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak for the Energy Policy magazine, The Moscow Times reports.. According to his data, oil production has been falling for the third year in a row: in 2024 it was 516 million tons, in 2023 - 530 million tons, and in 2022 - 535 million. tons. As a result, oil production volumes became the lowest since 2009: then Russia pumped 494.2 million. tons. Even during the pandemic crisis, in 2020, production was slightly higher - 512.7 million? tons. The government’s plan for the year included an increase in production to 520 million tons.. The OPEC+ deal also allowed Russia to load more, under which the Russian quota increased from 8.98 to 9.57 million barrels per day. But in fact, by the end of the year, Russian oil workers pumped only 9.33 million. barrels per day, and in December, instead of increasing, production suddenly and sharply began to fall - by 250 thousand barrels per day. The decline in production is the result of US sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil, which have undermined exports to India and China, notes Janis Kluge, an expert at the German Institute for International Security Studies.. The collapse in prices for Russian Urals oil, which now sells for $35-37 per barrel, that is, with a discount of almost 50% to Brent, has made production at many fields in Russia unprofitable. . Let us remind you that tankers carrying sanctioned oil began to change their flag to Russian, cherishing the hope that this would supposedly “save” them from detention by the United States.
